The differing influences and backgrounds of the musicians changed the sound of the Medium project from its folk/blues origin to a “More driven and dynamic” effort.

According to McDonald, "I loved that our odd combination of musical influences brought together a sound that allowed us to play with acts as contrasting as Fishbone, Rollins Band and The Wallflowers.

Three tracks, "Suburban Grey", "Blood Becomes Power" and "Swimming Past The Fourth Of July" were completed in these recording sessions.

Tracks from The Mechanical Bride (notably "Wedding Photo", "Swimming Past The Fourth of July" and "Ten Feet of Rope") were played at regular and heavy rotation on alternative radio stations thorough the mid-west and north-east of the United States.

Medium members progressed to solo efforts and new projects, the band as a whole was generally considered to be broken up and not expected to produce new material.
